Two text forms in same publication?

papaworx · 05-12-2017, 12:50 PM

I am converting a large (web based) project to ePub 3. It consists of a ~130 page book and a linked database. I have converted the links to some 900 small xhtml pages. In the web form I have the book in one directory, the database pages in another. The book is best flowable, and I have converted the database to fixed format pages. But now I am wondering how to tie in the database pages. They appear as links in the book prose. Does anybody have experience with such a project?

You cannot have content in a database. The content must be in XHTML files.

Well, it is. For archiving purposes all relevant queries - containing the the total information in the database - have been converted by a robot into regular html files, which then were converted into many hundred's of linked xhtml files. The archiving site provides only file downloads. I then decided to use these files also for an ebook.
